I’ve been reminding myself to make a sleep eye mask for months and after a loooong overdue, I finally made one this week! As we always wash our face after we wake up, I thought about making a sleep mask that is detachable from our headband so we can just slide the headband up when we are washing our face.

Hello guys, hope you are well! I’m back with a new tutorial! Sorry for the inconsistency in the posting schedule recently; a little bit busy with uni’s work but most of all, idea block! (no pun intended). Browsed Pinterest (and got overwhelmed!) but nothing came up until yesterday. Where do you guys usually go when looking for inspirations? I was picking up some washi tape yesterday and tried making a (faux) mini rubik (that ended up as a cute necklace) :D So I’m sharing the tutorial today! Read on to see the easy peasy how-to!Continue reading →

Okay, first I want to warn you that this post will be shamelessly filled with my old ID photos, please bear with me (^^); I took a lot of ID photos for visa, exams, passport and other related documents and you know how most of them requires the “at least 3 months old” photos. I did cheat sometimes but sometimes your new hair length just won’t let you cheat.

I usually use the self-service photo box and it always comes with 8 pieces of photo and most of the time, I just use 1 or 2 of them and the others? Stuffed inside my drawer collecting dust. I keep one photo from every print (just to see how I age overtime LOL), so I’m looking for ways to use these old ID photos and came up with today photo pins and magnets! They are great for memo board and chore charts and very easy to make too!Continue reading →

Hi there everyone! So this is my first post in year 2015 and I’m starting it with a sewing craft. I’m still exercising my “sewing with sewing machine” skill and bought a bias tape to challenge myself in sewing a straight line on a narrow surface. Not wanting to waste the bias tape, I turned it into a strap for my ID card. Roll down to see the easy how-to!Continue reading →

Christmas is almost here and today I’m sharing a quick Xmas-y decoration craft. Renting a small room in Tokyo, there’s no way I can have a big Christmas tree in my room so I made myself a mini version of it (or them) and line the trees up on my desk or the balcony when the sky is clear :) These trees are very easy to make and take only a few minutes each. Scroll down to see the how-to!Continue reading →

A reader pointed out that I can make fairies in a jar with theglowing beadsI made the other day. After a search for the how-to in the Internet, it looks like the craft calls for the liquid inside a glow stick. I am (still) struggling, trying to find out how to cut my glow stick (it seems like I will need a more powerful tool to cut through it). So, with whatever I had at the time, I made this glowing snow jar instead, minus the glow stick. Continue reading →
